Thank you so much for this clear and helpful post. It definitely holds true in my experience, although I haven’t used video on all the platforms you mention. I always look forward to reading your content and learning from it!

This is what keeps me filming and editing and promoting videos (even when I don’t even really enjoy it). I know that it builds our brand in a way that nothing else can. Thanks for helping me realize that I am on the right path!

I love this and will be pinning it! I am working on my first charitable project through my blog and have been giving a lot of thought to video marketing! This post is really helpful and right on time! Thanks

Thank you for sharing! I have been on youtube much longer than I have been been blogging and I have to agree that I have noticed that the connection creating video content versus blog posts is different. There is definitely more of a connection like you say!
